softlines

Greetings all, I started at Target recently in Softlines and so far so good I'm thankful to say, albeit a little slow at zoning. But I'm still lost with most all things regarding the backroom, and I'm also unsure about what non-closing shifts do (so far all I've done is closing). Admittedly I...

I have had it with my work center and would like to be switched anywhere but where I am. How can I switch?

I know there is a VML thread, but too many comments to find what I'm looking for! I've seen VML positions available online at other stores, and by the description(a vague one) it seems like something I would like to know about! So can any of you tell me what a VML does on a daily basis, do you...

I'm interested in becoming a team leader after this semester is over, but the problem is that I'm a college student and I was wondering what the availability standards for team leaders is? Could I still become a team leader with two or even three days of closed availability? I want to become a...

I've decided to stop my lurking and finally make an account. I've been at my Target for a little over a year now, and now I am here. I'm offically a Softlines TM, but I do other stuff like guest service and flow if they need me. Hello everybody ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hey yall, I was recently "promoted" to be a brand team member. I know ASANTS but does this typically come with a raise? Because I definitely didn't get one... (nor am I getting any hours but we'll save that for later...)

I have seen on this site that some stores have a merchandising brand TM. Is this true? My store doesn't have one, but we have a SL ETL, 2 SL TLs, a VML, a shoe brand TM, and a Jewelry/accessories brand TM. My ETL recently started assigning me merchandising projects and he told me that I should...

Do Target stores still sell it? At my local Target, there are locked cases in the jewelry department, but no fine jewelry.

so I've had three training sessions within the past week and I've pretty much learned nothing. All they've really had me doing was redoing the tables and reshop. Yesterday someone in the section I got put into asked if I was actually trained on anything else but those two things and when I said...

I'm seasonal Softlines salesfloor, this was my 3rd Friday night working. I had an 8 hour shift but spent 2 hours training for cashier. Anyways I only got half of RTW zoned and had a cart full of reshop left when the store closed at 11 :( I felt like a failure to be honest. I stopped the LOD as...

Hello everyone. I'm new to the Target family, I start orientation next week. Any one have some friendly advice? Would be much appreciated!

Not sure if this is the place to post this, as this is my first post. I'm a well rounded team member being developed more. I was asked to change the capacities for softlines tables and make a guide so everyone is clear across the board (flow, salesfloor, and the brand team member) Does anyone...

(My apologies, I have insomnia) haven't been on tbr been a wee bit depressed BUT today helped AP with info on a guest that was stealing stuff in the fitting room. I guess they followed up on fashion nevklace tags left On 2 or 3 occasions. They Were kinda looking out for her and after a stall...

We get heaps of shitty teams clothing sent to our store. None of it sells and its a nightmare aisle with at least 40 shirts each day on the floor. Why is this happening? My support is worthless and no one knows what to about this gross overstocking of non backstock shit.

Is anyone else's store hosting a Star Wars event on September 3-4? Apparently my store is only a few in the group hosting it. I got asked if I want to help with it. Anyone know what this event is?

The August playbook states that these last weeks of August are the 4th quarter for softlines. I can honestly say that I have been feeling it. My store has huge amounts of clearance and not enough high capacities. My zones and VAs are a mess. My store doesn't POG shoes, instead we got rid of...

Has anyone heard of this position? As far as I know it's new, but maybe it's just new to my area... It sounds like a logical next step after assigning planograms to presentation to allow SL to focus on guest service. I actually really like this move and hope it's a sign the Spot is getting wise...

I am looking for a more efficient way to do breakout in softlines at my store. What does your store do that works really well? Do you have copies of the VA's so you know where to put new items that come off the truck or do you just "flex them in" and hope for the best? Do you use my devices or...

I was recently presented with the opportunity to make the jump to Softlines. I haven't even started my training yet, but a search through the forum led to many people in my position and a minimal guide or two. Inspired by the Presentation and Signing threads, I think softlines could use its own...

So I was wondering how other stores goes about zoning softlines at night. I'm feeling very overwhelmed as our store has suddenly wanting the zone to be very detailed. We're pretty short handed (or they just don't give us enough payroll) at closing time. We usually only have two team members in...
